FILES AVAILABLE
* comprehensiveJapanEnergy.dta: A Stata-formatted file including five time series of energy consumption in Japan from January 2008 to December 2012. Also includes an indicator for the Fukushima disaster, temperature in Celsius, and squared temperature. Data on energy consumption were drawn from the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (http://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/info/statistics/denryoku/result-2.htm). Data on temperature were drawn from the Japan Meterological Agency (http://www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/etrn/index.php).

* replicationJapanEnergy.R: An R script that reads the data file, estimates every model reported in the paper, and produces several interpretive figures. The file also computes a variety of regression diagnostics, such as Ljung-Box Q-tests for autocorrelation.

CODEBOOK FOR THE DATA FILE
The file comprehensiveJapanEnergy.dta includes ten variables, with no missing observations, for the sixty months running from January 2008 to December 2012. A description of each variable is as follows:

* time: An observation index running from 1 to 60 that temporally orders the monthly observations.
* date: A date index listing the last two digits of the date followed by the three-letter abbreviation of the month.
* dummy: An indicator variable coded 0 for the months from January 2008 to February 2011, and 1 for the months from March 2011 to December 2012. This indicator is coded to correspond to the time of the Fukushima nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011.
* temp: Average temperature in a given month, in Celsius.
* temp2: Squared average temperature in a given month (squared degrees of Celsius).
* all: Total consumption of energy in all of Japan in a given month, in megawatt-hours (MWh).
* large: Total consumption of energy by large consumers (blue chip companies) in a given month, in megawatt-hours (MWh).
* house: Total consumption of energy in households in a given month, in megawatt-hours (MWh).
* kepco: Total consumption of energy in the KEPCO energy system (Kansai Electric Power Company) in a given month, in megawatt-hours (MWh).
* tepco: Total consumption of energy in the TEPCO energy system (Tokyo Electric Power Company) in a given month, in megawatt-hours (MWh).
